The Marblehead Arts Association continues to be a creative community for both artists and art lovers since its founding in 1922. In 2008, twenty nine individuals, ranging from abstract artists, to painters of traditional landscapes, to photographers, and artists working in three-dimensional media, were accepted by the jury. They join noted MAA artists past and present such as Mary Bradish Titcomb, Frank Benson, JOJ Frost, Samuel Chamberlain, J. Selmer Larsen, Christopher Gurshin, Bev Seamans, Mark Shasha and Ulrike Welsch. Of the total membership, over three hundred are Artist Members — artists who have been screened by a jury and earned exhibition privileges and the right to sell their artwork in the MAA Gallery Shop. The association holds juries for new Artist Members three times a year: in February, May, and October.
